There are a number of issues to consider when you are filing for divorce.
One of your main concerns is likely how the divorce will affect your children
and how you will be able to provide for them after your union has ended.
Divorce can be very traumatic for children, especially if they are young
or unable to understand exactly what is happening. If you are divorcing,
you may need legal representation to help you establish an adequate child
support order. At The Law Office of Ada M. Barreto, P.A., our
divorce lawyer in Miami can help you understand the legal process.

How Is Child Support Calculated in Florida?

When making a decision regarding child support, the court typically considers:

There is no way to predict the exact decision that the court will make
or the exact amount of child support you will win. Our job is to help
build a strong case on your behalf. Child support cases can be quite vague
and complex, causing a number of concerns and anxiety for our clients,
which is why we aim to offer you a sense of relief. We can assist with
all matters relating to child support, including establishment,
modification, and enforcement.

Can I Deny Visitation If Child Support Is Not Paid?

No - You should never refuse visitation if a parent has not paid child
support. This is because under the law, visitation and child support are
two separate things. If you willfully deny the other parent visitation,
you are violating your timesharing order. The consequences of a violation
can be punishable by community service, having your plan modified in favor
of the other parent, or other punishments as determined by the judge.
If a parent is not paying child support, you should talk to an attorney
first before taking any action.
